Our take
Vision care and insurance, as with many corners of healthcare, can be complex for patients to navigate. XP Health is out to change this, with its digital-first vision care platform.
The company wants to combat some of the problems with traditional vision insurance - such as high out-of-pocket costs for frames. Through the platform, the company makes it easier and cheaper for members to use their benefits for care both online and in person. For employers, this means higher enrolment and use, but for a lower cost.
A stand-out part of XP Health's approach is its use of technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence across its platform. It has earned good levels of investment that will be used to continue expanding its product offering and increase its focus on Generative AI products that will improve the member experience.
